I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
- —Richard Brautigan, from All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (1967)
An obscure but clearly impression-forming book of poems by Richard Brautigan, and a conspiratorial but nevertheless excellent documentary series by talented but impressionable — and impression-making — film-maker Adam Curtis.
Also shorthand for internal audit.
